I'm getting this burning smell from around the rear wheel. I'm unsure where it's comin from though. It only starts to smell after drivin around for a bit so I don't think it's an exhaust leak or anythin.

Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like something might be rubbing? are you lowered?

patawan

Yea i'm lowered but onli like 1.5inch.
It only started happening recently like 3 weeks ago n my car was lowered 1 yr ago.
The tyre doesn't look like there is any wear on it.

I'm thinkin mayb the brakes are sticking or somethin i'm not sure but its really strong on the right rear wheel.

whereabouts are you ( and be specific) .

someone might be able to assist .

no point in guessing what it is .

Have you had a look under the car? My bet is you ran over a plastic bag and it stuck to your exhaust.

patawan

Yea I was thinking about the plastic bag thing however I can't see anythin there when I looked under the car.

I'm goin down to Hanny's on Saturday for a service anyways so might get him to check it out.

Thanks for help guys

so are you joining us for this AusMEET?? hehe

patawan

When is this AusMEET?
Hopefully if I have time I can come down working nearly 7 days a week (things I do for my car/bike) and hopefully if my car doesn't blow up from the burning hahaha

did you drive with your hand brake slightly up? because that can cause a burning smell and the plastic bag one has happened to me aswell

the handbrake can be up slightly sometimes from when you take the roof off

patawan

I've checked the hand brake and made sure it was down all the way.
Unless the brake cable isn't disengaging the brake properly.

Hopefulli Hanny's can fix it on Saturday.
